Words: 6559

====================

In the Kaminari family, gathered together in the warm embrace of the dining room, Shiina and Tenko wore expressions of mild confusion as they awaited an explanation.

"Raiden," Shiina inquired with a tilt of her head, "what's the reason for calling this family meeting?"

Raiden shifted his attention to Denki with an air of anticipation. "Denki, are you prepared to share what you've mentioned?"

Earlier that day, as Denki made his way home from Shoto's place, he'd called Raiden. He'd insisted on the entire family convening around the dining room table, as he was eager to recount the full story of the incident at I-Island.

With a resolve that shone in his eyes, Denki nodded firmly. "Yes, Dad. I'm ready."

Turning to face Shiina and Tenko, he addressed them directly. "Mom, Nii-san, I'm sure you've heard about what transpired on I-Island, haven't you?"

Concern clouded Shiina's features as she asked, "Yes, Denki. Is there something we should know?"

Denki hesitated for a moment before unveiling the unsettling truth. "Yes," he began slowly, causing Tenko and Shiina's eyes to widen in apprehension, "the villain who attacked I-Island specifically targeted me..."

Tenko's heart skipped a beat as he leaned forward, a mix of shock and concern etched onto his face. "Targeted you?" he inquired, his voice barely above a whisper.

Denki nodded solemnly. "Yes."

Raiden, ever the practical one, took charge. "Denki, can you describe this villain?"

Denki contemplated for a moment, then gestured with his hand to indicate the villain's height, barely shorter than himself. "She has black, cat-like eyes and black hair. This tall."

As Denki mentioned the "cat-like" eyes, Tenko couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion welling up within him. The words triggered memories of his dearly departed older sister, Hana Shimura.

"Cat-like eyes..." Tenko murmured, his voice trembling with emotion.

Desperate to confirm his suspicion, Tenko pressed Denki further. "Denki, what was her quirk?"

"She possesses the ability to emit green electron beams, which can dissolve virtually anything they come into contact with. "Denki's voice carried a note of unease as he continued to share the details.

"I see..." A sense of relief washed over Tenko as he processed Denki's description. Hana never manifested her quirk before he accidentally...killed her.

Denki picked up on the subtle shift in Tenko's voice, recognizing the undertones of relief that colored his words. "Nii-san, you sounded relieved. Do you know something?" He asked, his curiosity tinged with a hint of apprehension.

Tenko paused for a moment, wrestling with the weight of his past and the newfound information. With a sigh, he finally spoke, his voice tinged with a mix of guilt and gratitude. "Denki, it's just... I thought I recognized the description, but I couldn't be sure. It brought back memories I've been trying to forget. I'm relieved because it seems like it wasn't what I feared."

Raiden, Shiina, and Denki exchanged puzzled glances and raised their brows simultaneously, a collective question mark hovering over the dining room table.

Raiden's voice carried a tone of understanding and empathy as he began, "Tenko, I've been aware of your past, thanks to Detective Tsukauchi. If there's anything you want to share with us, please don't hesitate. We're your family now, aren't we?" His words were accompanied by warm smiles from Shiina and Denki, offering Tenko the reassurance he needed.
